Wax

We use an extremely gentle custom blend of both hard and soft waxes.

Waxing yields best results when done every 4-6 weeks. Sugaring Wax is typically laid in the same direction as hair growth then pulled against it to remove the hair, while sugar is laid against the grain and pulled out with it. In some instances, sugar can melt into the follicles to pull up hair that is too short for wax to reach. Sugaring doesn't pull at your skin the way wax does, so if you are on certain medications that make you too sensitive to wax, you can check in with your doctor to see if sugaring is right for you. Sugaring is applied by hand so usually takes longer than waxing.

Pre-Wax/Sugar

Hair needs to be at least 1/8th of an inch to achieve a clean wax. Give it at least 2 weeks post shaving.

Hair should be at most 1/2th of an inch long.

If you are on any medication that thins the skin, such as Accutane, Retin-A, Renova, and Differin, you shouldn’t wax. If you are in doubt, please check with your primary care physician. You shouldn’t wax if you have used Accutane within the last four months.

Waxing and sugaring shouldn’t be done on any area of the skin that has recently received a chemical peel, sunburn, or laser treatments. Wait until your skin has fully healed.

If you have a spray-on tan, waxing or sugaring will lighten the skin.

We do not recommend hair removal services for clients with diabetes, varicose veins or poor circulation. Check with your doctor if you have any of these conditions.

Post-Wax/Sugar

The first 24 - 48 hours after your hair removal will feel the most sensitive. Your follicles are exposed and more vulnerable to sweat, dirt, and bacteria. It is normal for mild inflammation to occur on first-time hair removal clients, or clients with sensitive skin or very thick hair. Do not exfoliate or use any harsh skincare products on the area for 72 hours. After 3 days, gently exfoliate and moisturize the waxed area to help prevent ingrown hairs.

For 24-48 hours after hair removal, avoid:

- heat sources, such as hot tubs, saunas, steam and whirlpools - tanning - laser treatments - salt water - skin tight clothes - sweat - exercise - sexual activity

Before your visit At least 48 hours before your visit, please gently exfoliate your whole body to ensure a long-lasting spray-tan. If you take a shower the day of your spray-tan, avoid body moisturizer as it can act as a barrier. Bring loose fitting, dark clothes and sandals to your appointment. The bronzer in our solution can rub off on clothes and cause stains.

Spray tan aftercare After the tan has finished developing, take a shower in room temperature water. To keep your tan strong, avoid using soap and do not exfoliate. Showering in cooler water will make your tan last longer. Moisturizing regularly will make your tan last longer. Typically tan stays prime until around day 4, and is fully faded by day 7.

Developing period: Regular Full Body: 10 - 12hrs Express Full Body: 6hrs

Before your appointment Do not wear makeup to your lash appointment. We have an extra removal fee if you come to your appointment with eye makeup, as it adds unnecessary time onto the service. Avoid caffeine 3 hours before your lash service.

Lash extension aftercare

Do not pick or rub your lashes, and avoid oils on the lash line as this will weaken the adhesive causing the extensions to fall prematurely. Do not use mascara between your appointments or while you have extensions on.

We recommend coming in every 2-3 weeks for fills to keep lashes looking their fullest. Appointment fills scheduled more than 3 weeks after the last fill will be considered a full set at the discretion of the lash artist.

Lash lift aftercare

For 24 hours after your appointment, do not pick or rub your lashes. Avoid oils on your lash line and avoid extreme heat. It's okay to wash your face with cool water, but make sure to avoid the eye area.

After 24 hours go back to your normal routine with no fuss. Lash lifts typically last anywhere from 4 - 8 weeks depending on each individual's lash growth cycle.

Before a facial Please arrive at least 5 minutes before your facial time to fill out a client consultation form. Let us know if you are on any type of medications or topical retinols so we can ensure client safety.

After the facial A proper at-home routine includes a cleanser, exfoliation, toner, moisturizer, and SPF. If you receive a chemical peel or intense exfoliation service during your treatment ask your skin therapist for proper home and aftercare instructions.

Add-ons We offer a variety of chemical peels that vary in intensity, We offer red LED treatments to target fine lines/wrinkles and blue LED treatments for breakout prone skin. We offer customized eye and face masks We offer extended massage. These are all additional pricing and will be charged accordingly.

For best results, the ideal facial timing is once every 6 weeks.
